Thaddeus Lewis, QB, Duke University All-ACC, 2008 I m excited for Coach Cutcliffe. I think he deserves to be a head coach again. His influence on me has been well documented; he was a huge reason why I chose to attend the University of Tennessee. Speaking for Eli, Coach Cutcliffe being named the head coach at Ole Miss was a swaying factor in Eli s decision to go to school there. Peyton Manning, QB, Indianapolis Colts University of Tennessee SEC Player of the Year & First Team All-America, 1997 No. 1 Overall Selection, 1998 NFL Draft NFL MVP, 2003, 2004 & 2008 MVP, Super Bowl XLI The greatest thing about Coach Cutcliffe is his ability to teach the game of football.

I thought he did a really good job at Mississippi and knew it would only be a matter of time before he was his own boss again. Todd Blackledge, ESPN Coach Cutcliffe was great. He was pretty much the reason I went to the University of Tennessee. He is an offensive genius and at quarterback and he knows what he s talking about.

Guided by the Strategic Plan that was approved by Duke s Board of Trustees in April of 2008, White made an immediate impact on Duke Athletics. He reshaped the organization into a more efficient and modern department; strengthened ties to both campus and community constituents though consistent outreach efforts; successfully oversaw Duke s fundraising efforts during an economic downturn; completed partnerships with major corporate entities to enhance revenue streams; commissioned a master facilities plan to position Duke well into the 21st Century; and emphasized a stronger commitment to the university s intramural, club and recreational sports programs. In his first year at Duke, White oversaw a program that won a national championship (women s tennis) the school s 10th overall and four ACC titles (men s basketball, men s lacrosse, women s tennis and volleyball). Duke placed 17th in the 2009 Learfield Sports Directors Cup standings, which determines an institution s all-around strength in intercollegiate athletics. The Blue Devils points in the all-sports competition were the thirdmost for the school, and its was the sixth consecutive year Duke has ended among the nation s top 20 programs. Six Blue Devil teams ranked among the nation s top 10 teams during their regular seasons and two men s basketball and women s tennis reached No. 1. In all, 13 Duke teams advanced to postseason competition in Individually, 27 student-athletes earned All-America, 39 All-ACC and 26 All-Region honors in Duke boasted two NCAA individual champions in Becca Ward (women s fencing, saber) and Mallory Cecil (women s tennis) and six Blue Devil athletes were individual ACC champions. Academically, Duke teams continued their strong performances as 25 of 26 Blue Devil varsity teams earned grade point averages of 3.0 or better during the 2009 spring semester, marking the first time in Duke Athletics history that occurred. A total of 429 Duke student-athletes registered a 3.0 or higher grade-point average during the campaign. Former women s tennis player Parker Goyer was a Rhodes Scholar award winner, while track athlete Sally Liu earned a prestigious Marshall Scholarship. In two key elements in tracking a department s academic success, Duke ranked among the nation s best again. Duke posted a 97% Graduation Success Rate (GSR) and 19 teams achieved a 100% GSR. Twelve Blue Devil teams were ranked in the top 10% of their respective sport in the most recent Academic Performance Rate (APR) Report. Duke had the only football program in the ACC to qualify for this recognition and was one of just three schools from the six BCS conferences honored. Four Blue Devils received ACC Postgraduate Scholarships -- Amanda Blumenherst (golf), Kim Imbesi (lacrosse), Melissa Mang (tennis) and Peter Truszkowski (fencing). Under White, Duke has continued its focus on outreach to the local community. Modeling the NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills program s commitment to service, learning projects and outreach, close to 500 Duke student-athletes across the department participated in a combined effort of more than 1,300 community service hours (based only on activities and events coordinated through and reported to Student-Athlete Development during the year). White, who holds a Ph.D. in education, has taught graduate-level classes since 1982 and currently teaches a sports business course in Duke s Fuqua School of Business as part of Duke s MBA program.

Additionally, White was part of the NCAA Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics (COIA) that dealt with academics, fiscal reform and student-athlete well-being. Given his background and success, it is not surprising that 16 current or former directors of athletics were mentored by White. That impressive list includes Jim Sterk of Washington State, Tom Boeh of Ohio University and Fresno State, Ian McCaw of Northeastern, Massachusetts and Baylor, Bruce Van De Velde previously of Utah State and Iowa State, Herman Frazier previously of Hawaii, Rudy Keeling formerly of Emerson and now commissioner of the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC), Scott Devine of St. Mary s College (Md.), Tim Van Alstine of Western Illinois, Mark Wilson of Tennessee Tech, Bubba Cunningham of Ball State and Tulsa, Sandy Barbour (who followed him at Tulane) of California-Berkeley, Jim Phillips of Northern Illinois and Northwestern, Bernard Muir of Georgetown and Delaware, Sandy Hatfield-Clubb of Drake, Vic Cegles of Long Beach State, and Norwood Teague of Virginia Commonwealth.
